Spend about four hours at Extreme Adventure Eco Park on a guided ATV ride, three ziplines, and a natural cenote swim. Pickup is offered from many Playa del Carmen, Cancun, and Riviera Maya hotels. Guides such as Sergio, Gio, Lalo, and Ximema have earned praise for safety and family care, but expect add-on sales.

“Not at all worth the $. You are greeted by an ultra pushy salesperson trying to up sell you. The cenote swimming was the best part but you only had 20 minutes there.

“We went with my mom and I have three boys, age 4, 7 and 11. One note, depending on how far your hotel is your trip to the start point, maybe up to 2 hours long. We were the furthest of our trip and it was 1.5 hours. The bus was very nice. And all three of my kids didn't really have a problem with the trip getting there.

They made sure I knew the right time the…”

Take turns driving a shared two-seat Can-Am buggy with guides such as Fernando and Rigo, then cool off in a natural cenote cave. Expect a dusty, bumpy ride, English support, hotel pickup around Playa del Carmen, snorkeling gear, water, and a small snack.

“Had a great time on this tour. It wasn't too long or short, it was just perfect! Fernando was a great guide and cool guy, felt like an old friend. The Cenote we went to was great, felt very special. I can't really swim but felt like I was able to float better in the Cenote's water. Got a good amount of swimming practice in. Would definitely recommend this tour!”
